The Bodacious Book Shows were designed to inspire kids to pick up and read books that are so fun they’ll want to read more. The adventure of reading comes alive on stage through comic characters like Professor Fineprint and Beatrice the Bookworm, folktales and fairytales featuring audience volunteers, and the “Have You READ It?” Game that involves the entire audience with questions and challenges about great books.
School assemblies for grades pre-K –8, with variable content for different grade levels.
Perfect for PARP and Reading Programs. 3 themes available, with reading lists.
All 3 Book Shows feature:
  The “Have You READ It?” Game with Bob Bookmark and Rita Digest
 
3 Great Shows to get kids thinking and talking about great books!
 
 
book show 1 the classics
Great books make great readers. From timeless tales like Aesop’s Fables and The Ugly Duckling to modern classics like Dr. Seuss, Charlotte’s Web and Harry Potter, Bob and Rita remind students of the fun they’ve had with their favorite books and inspire them to go to the library and look for more. Plus, classic poetry and a madcap rendition of our favorite fairytale:
“Jack and the Beanstalk”
starring the audience and a 60’ beanstalk
 
 
Teachers and Students agree these shows motivate kids to read!
 
book show 2 World Tour

and
Who’s In Rabbit’s House?” from Africa
